Mille et une fadaises

by Jacques Cazotte (1719-1792)

De retour de sa campagne, la Baronne de … va voir la Marquise de …, qui n’a plus fermé l’oeil depuis quinze jours. Qu’est-ce qui mieux qu’un discours de l’Abbé pourrait y remédier ?
Le voici justement qui se présente.
Sans talent pour les réflexions, ce sera par un conte qu’il tentera de les endormir :
Riante, la Fée Troisbosses et d’autres seront les héros de sont récit cocasse. Que de sottises !

When visiting the Marquise of …, the Baroness of … finds her deprived of sleep for a fortnight. Couldn’t one of the Abbot’s speeches solve this?
There he is.
He will attempt to put them to sleep by entertaining them with a fairy tale. The heroes of his comical story will be Riante (the Laughing one), la Fée Troisbosses (the Threehumps Fairy) and others. What nonsense !
